Smoke-less Mode
To cook in Smoke-less mode, there are two actions
that need to be performed to the unit, depending
upon what position you are cooking in this mode:
1. Create the lower plate / base angle by pulling
out the front foot extension
2. Create upper plate / cover angle by adjusting
the hinge
Flat Position/Full Smoke-less — Upper plate/cover
and lower plate/base are both angled inward, creating
a "V" shape. The upper and lower plates create one
large cooking surface. The Griddler is in this position
when it is used as a Full Grill, Full Griddle, or Half
Grill/Half Griddle.
To adjust the Griddler to this position, locate the foot
extension on the front underside of the base and fold
out toward you, creating the base angle. Next, locate
the hinge release lever on the right arm. With your left
hand on the handle, use your right hand to lift and
hold the hinge release lever. Push the handle back,
until the cover is slightly beyond the open position.
Release the lever and continue to push handle
back until it comes into the next locked position.
The handle will be slightly above the countertop,
creating the upper plate angle.
NOTE: In the flat/full smoke-less position, you may
select to use smoke-less mode for either the upper
plate only, lower plate only, or both.
Closed Smoke-less Position — For smoke-less
grilling in the closed position, you will need to angle
the lower plate/base. To adjust the Griddler to this
position, locate the foot extension on the front
underside of the base and fold out toward you,
creating the base angle.
Open Smoke-less Position — Upper plate/cover is
open slightly beyond a 90-degree angle. Open the
cover to this position before using the Griddler as a
Contact Grill or Panini Press. To adjust the Griddler
for smoke-less cooking in the open position, locate

the foot extension on the front underside of the base
and fold out toward you, creating the base angle.
To insert cooking plates
Adjust the Smoke-less Contact Griddler
position with the control panel directly in front of you.
Insert one plate at a time. Each plate is designed to fit
in either the upper housing or the lower housing of the
Smoke-less Contact Griddler
If you are facing the Smoke-less Contact Griddler
the drip spout should be at the rear of the plate.
Locate the metal brackets at the center of the
housing. Tilt the back end of the plate and line up the
cutouts at the back of the plate with the metal
brackets. Slide the plate underneath the brackets
and push down the front end of the plate. It will snap
into place. Turn the Smoke-less Contact Griddler
around and insert the second plate on either its grill
or griddle side into the upper housing as you did with
the first plate.
To remove cooking plates
Once the Smoke-less Contact Griddler
adjust to flat position. Locate the plate release button
on one side of the unit. Press firmly on button and the
plate will pop up slightly from the base. Grasp the
plate with two hands,
slide it out from
under the metal
brackets, and lift it
out of the base. Press
on the other plate
release button to
remove the other
cooking plate in the
same manner.
To position drip tray
One side of the base has a slot provided for the drip
tray. Slide the drip tray into the base according to the
instructions on the tray.
Grease from the food will run off the plates through
the drip spout and into the drip tray. Slowly remove
the drip tray.
Grease should be
